Scott Myall's lobbed effort just before the break reduced the deficit and gave Tile Kiln a glimmer of hope and after Chapman's hat trick, a further goal for Myall, a first goal for the club for Gary Easton and a Ricky Clegg finish, it was a 45 minustes fo football for Tile Kiln to remember, and one for Rayleigh to probably forget.
